Just got the speed demon elite reel for xmas and was trying to find a good 2 piece rod to go with it. Glad to see this is it! Excited to fish with it. Just gotta wait for it to get warm again haha.
I bought the 3000 series carbon fiber Zephyr by KK and it has a 10 2 1 retrieval and I bought a light rod/reel combo size 2000 reel by Kk and I will be using that for the first time this spring!
I'm gonna order the Kastking Perigee 6'6" today. I'm going to get a medium fast just for trout fishing. Please explain about getting 2 TIPS . I saw in the comments on Amazon that people said you really didn't and some were not happy. You kinda got me thinking about getting the Speed Demon reel too 😅. A 2000 size might be good for that. If you would please explain the TIP THING before I order tonight. Thanks in advance
I’m an American in Europe and I’m going up to Sweden this summer. The fish in the area I’ll be will be pike, perch and sea trout. I left my gear in the States and will have to start over. I love to catch pike for fun but perch & trout for the grill. I’m trying to decide if I can only bring one with. I have a military apo box so I can order from Bass Pro and others.
Hi from Russia! I think it would be nice to wrap more line to the spool. I always wrap to the edge of the spool, it really helps to throw the bait for long distances. Just try it 😉
I have newly bought megatron 4000 and i am thinking about getting a best combo for this reel. I go mostly fishing on saltwater 40-60m deep...please suggest a best rod for megatron 4000. Fish type like kingfish, queenfish, red snapper, trevally etc
Honestly that's a really good combo haven't tried that brand but medium fast is about perfect. If you're stream fishing you might go a little on the Xtra light fast action as having a longer tod in streams can get cramped I had a 6 ft srs rod and kept being in the bushes when trying to fight a fish while stream fishing I know this is 6 months old but hope it helps
Personal preference for sure! The problem I would have with using a medium action rod is that it may not have enough backbone when using certain baits. However with that said I’m sure you do a great job using a medium action rod👊👊
I'd have to agree with all this if it was the only combo your able to have.
We’re glad you agree!
Glad to hear that🙏🙏
Based on your recommendation, I went out and bought the the exact combo you have here and have been extremely happy!!! Thanks for great content❤❤❤🎉
I have a kastking maxsteel UL and i love the performance ❤❤ thats why this brand is my favorite ❤

i love my black hawk 2 but i need 3pcs travel rod plus two tips for multitask and hard to find in amazon and ebay 😂🎉
I have kastking max steel and paired it with kastking sharky 3. It works very good.
Good Setup😁
Agreed with everything except I’d go with a medium light

Thx! Yes I’m aware of the shortage of line lol. At the time of making this I only had that amount of line available. Fully spooled up now👊👊
I use kastking Maxstell ML with kasting Sharky 2000, line Mega8 pe 1.5, is that the right combination??
Hi Dedy, your setup is good, the MH action is just a recommendation from Clayton, but if you haven't use MH action before, you can have a try.
@@KastKing thanks for the sugestion
Nice reel .. but I don't like the push button handle.. won't last the spring rust and then I will stop working

Hi Rupam, definitely Estuary Inshor fishing rod, link path: kast.vip/k5SnF
What style/ poundage line are you using? Just curious! Thanks !
So what is tip action? Fast, extra fast, medium,slow?
I have the same reel i put it on a ugly stik gx2 love it
Hello Sir! If i use ML set up. What are your recommendation. For saltwater. Thanks
Sharky III 5000 spinning reel is a great choice for inshor fishing, sir.kast.vip/kQ2Pz
what kind of line do you have on that
Hi Clayton, what is your opinion on the 2000 speed demon elite paired with the Perigee II 6'6" Medium fast for trout fishing?
Honestly that's a really good combo haven't tried that brand but medium fast is about perfect. If you're stream fishing you might go a little on the Xtra light fast action as having a longer tod in streams can get cramped I had a 6 ft srs rod and kept being in the bushes when trying to fight a fish while stream fishing I know this is 6 months old but hope it helps
Great video I love these rods
I came around Kastking and I'm slowly switching all my gear to Kastking rod and reel
What kind of line do you recommend?
What did you find out
Great job Clayton!!! 7’ MH is a good every day use rod for sure!
Thx Tiff🙏🙏
I see that Spearpoint hook.
Yes sir👊👊
Spearpoint hooks are pretty dang awesome.
what line are you using?/
Is this combo salt water rated?
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
After a year making this video, do you still feel the same about having this rod and reel if you could only have one?
Way under spooled.
Don't ever put a hook inside the eye of a rod cracks start out as a scratch in your guides
I only use Med. I don't like the MH
Haha... That's fine. There's no rule.😁
Personal preference for sure! The problem I would have with using a medium action rod is that it may not have enough backbone when using certain baits. However with that said I’m sure you do a great job using a medium action rod👊👊
@@castingwithclayton1978 Thank you Clayton for further explanation.😄
That reel is way too fast for the Slider technique!
Well, I think you can control the speed of retrieving.
@@KastKing it also has to do with torque!
